What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

Convert the equation 2x - y = 4 to slope-intercept form.

Back

Front

Given the slope -3 and point (2, -4), write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Front

What is the significance of the slope being negative?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant of the line.

How do you graph the equation y = -x + 1?

Back

Start at the y-intercept (0, 1) and use the slope (-1) to find another point, then draw the line.
